I lost my brother

I lost my brother 2 weeks ago... If I should say honestly he means the world to me Im so close to him... I love my brother so much. 4 years before he met with an accident caused him major traumatic brain injury. He was in coma for that particular 4 years especially in persistent vegatiive state. My family is really supportive in taking care of him. Bring him to checkups, give him a nice bath,really can't express by words.. I would say.. Because we love him so much... We don't want him to die in such young age... He haven't entered his 30s . I personally helped alot throughout the 4 years to take care of my brother... I would bring him walking, we listen to music together.. I motive him daily and I always told him that we are waiting for him... And when years pass by as family member we could see much improvement in him.. But his death was sudden of all... We brought him to hospital because of constant hiccups. When we bring him there the hospital put him in isolation ward because they told us when they admit him in emergency ward the patient next to him was covid patient. Although my brothers covid test were 2 times negatuve.. And the worst thing is they even doesn't allow one person to take care of my comatose brother... And after some days due to lower blood pressure and too high infections on his lungs and feeding tube he had septic secondary shock pneumonia and he left us.. And the most saddened part is they didn't allow us to meet him for the last time due to the reason his isolation period haven't completed although he is covid negative. We just saw him via video call and I was shattered when my young handsome brother was all alone in his last journey.. Its undeniably the worse nightmare in my life

I am so very sorry your brother passed away. I remember replying to you some months ago. I am so sorry for your loss for you and your family. I hope that you can support and comfort each other knowing you did your very best in arranging care fir your brother following his accident. It is cruel and terribly sad that you were not able to see him in his final hours because of CoVId restrictions. Thinking of you and your family.

Thanks for the kind words and prayers bro/sis. I hope time really heals. It is definitely some kind of trauma and worst nightmare in life😭😭but the thing is I could not even cry maybe because too much of grief and I myself promised that I should only cry when I fulfill his wishes and dreams and dedicate it to my brother... Stay safe yaa🙂
